Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy of mindfulness and placebo treatments on hearing improvement. More specifically, the researchers will be investigating whether the following variables impact the effectiveness of placebo treatment such as: mindfulness, and attention to variability. Extant research has found the effectiveness of psychological treatment in multiple domains, and the researchers look to further investigate this success in the domain of hearing symptom sensations.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Attention to Variability (ATV)

In Attention to Variability we ask the participant to attend to the natural fluctuations in mood and behavior that occur throughout the day, and to notice changes they experience with their hearing loss symptoms; noticing if it is better or worse and to ask why it may be.

OTHER

Placebo

Participants are told that the device they will be testing will improve their hearing, when in fact the device is not a hearing aid but just a metallic earring.
